Kirara's secret
5
♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣
Inuyasha insisted that
Shippou would sleep with Kagome, and after much trouble the little kitsune did
as he was asked but he pouted with the whole face, making Inuyasha feel guilty
as hell. But he put it aside and watched in growing anticipation how everyone
went to sleep. “At last!!” he thought and jumped silently out of his
tree. He listened and sniffed around and it was peaceful and safe, he could
leave them for a while. He took off towards the spring he had discovered earlier
and as soon as he got there Kirara was transformed in his arms. Inuyasha’s face
cracked up in a wide smile when he saw her.
-
Hey beautiful, he whispered and hugged her tightly to his
form.
-
Hey my mate, she answered him and was happy beyond words just
to hug him like tagaiagain.
-
I have missed your voice.
Kirara smiled and
caressed his cheeks, just relishing the softness under her fingertips. She
giggled when he took her fingers into his mouth and suckled them. His hands had
found their way up into her hair, taking her black and blond tresses between his
fingers. He moved his hands down to waist and he pushed her away a bit. She was
showing a small roundness and he smiled and kneeled in front of her, kissing her
stomach. He could hear the small fast heartbeats of their kittens.
-
We are confusing everybody, said Kirara and laid her hands
against his head and rubbed his furry ears, earning herself a deep purr from the
hanyou.
-
I know, but I will not back down from you, I want you to be
close to me all the time, said Inuyasha and stood up again. – Shippou is the
only one who knows about your condition.
-
He is so cute when he is acting all grown up. I think it did
him some good to be on night watch, makes him feel a little bit more important
to the group.
Inuyasha nodded, he had
noticed this also. He moved to stand next to the spring.
-
Do you want to take a bath while we are here koi? He asked.
-
Not unless you are taking one with me, I want to have you
close all night, said Kirara and her hands moved to untie his haori, wanting to
feel his warm skin against hers again.
-
Impatient are we? he chuckled and helped her undress him.
-
Mmm, very much.
A rustle of leafs made
them stop dead in their tracks. Inuyasha and Kirara both sniffed the air and
they mouthed a name – Shippou.
-
Stand behind me koi, said Inuyasha and pushed Kirara behind
his back.
-
Ok.
Inuyasha’s golden eyes
turned back towards the sound.
-
Shippou, come forward, I know you are there, said Inuyasha.
heard and then a confused and guilty looking kitsune appeared next to the
spring.
-
What are you doing here Shippou; you are supposed to be a
sleep, scolded Inuyasha. He was grumpy because they had been interrupted.
-
I had a bad dream, whimpered the little kitsune, he was sure
he was going to get bumped on the head. – And I could not go back to sleep.
-
It’s ok Shippou-chan, come here, sighed Inuyasha and held out
his arms.
He was amazed how fast
the little boy was, soon he was cradling the sniffling child in his arms and he
heard Kirara make a sound behind him. Shippou stiffened.
-
Who is with you Inuyasha? asked Shippou and sniffed the air.
– Kirara?
-
Yes, it is Kirara, but I don’t think you will recognize her
tonight Shippou-chan, she looks a lot different from what you are use to.
-
W-what do you mean?
Kirara peeped shyly over
Inuyasha’s shoulder and looked into the kitsune’s wide green eyes. Shippou saw
the black diamond shape on her forehead but she looked.. she was human looking.
-
K-kirara?
-
Hey there little friend, hope I don’t scare you looking like
this, said Kirara with a soft voice.
-
B-but how…?
Inuyasha managed to get
his red haori off and gave it to Kirara to put on and then he settled them both
in his lap. It felt nice even though he still was a bit grumpy over the
interruption. Kirara began to tell the story about how she transforms every full
moon into this form.
Shippou sat silent during
the whole story, but he could see Inuyasha caress her hair, her back and bare
legs every now and then. It was then it struck him that Kirara was pregnant, she
was going to have little kittens, and by the way the hanyou acted – could it
really be that.. He just had to know.
-
Uhmm Inuyasha… Shippou began.
-
Yes Shippou-chan?
-
Areyouthefatherofherkittens? He rambled out and hid his face inside his hands.
-
W-what?
-
Love, I think he just asked you if you were the father of my
kittens, said Kirara with a small smile.
Inuyasha blushed but
cleared his throat and answered the kitsune.
-
Yes, I am.
-
Oh… no wonder you have been keeping her to your self. Are you
mates too?
-
Yes we are. But you must again promise not to tell anyone
about this. This is not my wish Shippou, it is Kirara. She does not want anyone
to know yet. And the reason for me to get the jewel is not because I want to use
it anymore, I will give it to Kirara.
Shippou mouthed a silent
ohh and nodded. He could understand that.
-
I don’t want to be in my cat form when I give birth either,
said Kirara and patted Shippou on his head.
-
Then we just have to work harder, said Shippou. – Don’t we
Inuyasha?
Inuyasha chuckled and
nodded.
-
I guess I interrupted something so I will just go back to
camp. And I promise you, I will not tell a soul about this, said Shippou.
-
Thank you Shippou-chan, I appreciate it, said Kirara and
kissed his forehead.
Shippou blushed deeply
and bolted up from his position and ran back to camp. Inuyasha let out a breath.
It had been hard, but he was quite sure that Shippou would not tell anyone about
their little secret. He had not said a word about her having kittens, although
he had been jumpy all that day. He nuzzled her neck, nipping lightly at his
mark.
-
So where were we..? mumbled Inuyasha into her hair.
-
I think we had began kissing and hugging…
-
Skip that, I want to mate with you again, breathed Inuyasha.
-
Mmm, sounds good to me, let’s do it in the spring.
Inuyasha flashed a fanged
grin and picked her up and brought them into the spring, with clothes and all.

Ok, that was that...
Hope you enjoyed it.
A few responses to two of my reviewers:
InuYashasGirl - Just got to let Sango have Sess... :o)
KagomeHater - Shippou knows now...
I think I put this story under experimental so far...
I have no idea how long it is going to be, so if I take a break on it every now
and then, I have just run out of inspiration..
But don't worry - it will be finished sometime..
